    @kalakov:  Slow day at work so I spent the last 2 hours trying to answer that question by browsing the Sho forums.  Sounds like the stick is pretty good, easy to mod, but the joystick/buttons might be a little on the cheap side.  It's big though and as easy to mod as the MadCatz sticks.  Biggest issue is the niche layout, if you plan on playing a shit load of Mortal Kombat, 130 bucks isn't that bad for a quality stick.

    Didn't see this made for MK board yet so I thought I would go ahead a make it.

    Later today Team Spooky is going to stream an MK9 and MvC3 tourney at Next Level.  Sabin will be there and some other top New York players as well I bet.  Stream can be found HERE.

    I've been a pretty big starcraft fan, but I haven't followed any fighting games.  I'm planning on changing that for mortal kombat.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Know good sites for streams and/or strategy?

    After watching streams with really good commentators like James Chen, UltraDavid etc, these two are just annoying.

    Edit: Actually nevermind, Chris Hu is there. All is well.

    Edit: That streams down so I'm watching Alex Valle play MK on the Peacful Jay stream (http://www.justin.tv/peacefuljay#/w/1122886304) His avatar has a little wifebeater on. Genius.

    I know, but at one point it was down for a few days and wasn't posted on the SRK stream schedule so I just thought it was gone.

    People already have the TE stick and most of them probably don't want to mod their stick for one game.

    True words!

    This first tourny is pretty crazy with everyone trying to figure up match-ups and dropping combos. that last Raiden vs Noob match was good stuff though.

    I'm liking MK, players need to feel it out, block and throw more and manage that meter.

    LI Joe has got skills. Should be interesting to see how these players use the official sticks in the Vegas tourny. MK EVO is looking fun.

    So I've been watching a bit of this spooky livestream. They've been using some fighting game terminology, and although I'm not much of a fighting game player, I managed to pick up most of it. There is just one I don't get. What does "confirmation" mean in this context?

    Basically your using normals to confirm whether or not you hit the opponent, and if so you continue the combo. If its blocked you stopped the combo and are safe.

    GB mod LordOfUltima did a good brief video of this concept (though in SSF4)
